Buzz
If you're looking to quit social media or eliminate single-use plastics from your life, there’s a company willing to pay you for it. FinanceBuzz is the latest brand offering a cash prize for a task many would do for free. Why spend money on snacks for the big game when you could earn $1000 by tasting them at Costco?
FinanceBuzz, a personal finance website, is hiring a 'Sideline Sampler' as the NFL playoffs wrap up. For football fans, the real joy of watching the game lies in the snacks—think pretzel bites, pigs in a blanket, and more. Costco has an amazing variety of these treats, and FinanceBuzz wants one lucky person to help them determine which snacks are the top picks. The chosen sampler will receive $1000 for their efforts, plus a $500 Costco gift card for their shopping spree.
The Sideline Sampler is tasked with using the gift card to purchase, prepare, and taste-test 20 different frozen or pre-prepared foods. This includes items like frozen pizzas, chicken wings, mozzarella sticks, and other classic game day foods. The person will need to snap a picture of each item, rate it on factors such as ease of preparation and taste, and write a brief review. The feedback will be shared on the site to help readers make the best snack choices for their own game day parties.
To apply, visit FinanceBuzz’s website and complete the form under 'FinanceBuzz Sideline Sampler Application.' The deadline is January 29, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EST. The winner will be notified by email and must finish the assignment by February 14. A Costco membership, or access to one, is required for eligibility, and in-person shopping is a must.
